Reggie Love, former "body man" and aide to President Obama, will serve as editor-at-large for Vice Media's sports site Vice Sports.
The news comes just four months after Obama gave an interview to Vice News, during which he discussed foreign policy, marijuana legalization and climate change, among other topics, with Vice founder Shane Smith.
In a press release Thursday, Vice Sports announced its "exciting" new hire, explaining that Love will serve as a "brand ambassador who will help us connect even more so with the biggest and most fascinating names in sports."
After playing basketball and football at Duke University, Love landed a job as a body man for then-Sen. Obama during his first presidential campaign, remaining at the post for a portion of the president’s first term in the White House.
Love chronicled his five-year career as an aide to Obama in his 2015 memoir, Power Forward: My Presidential Education, describing himself in the book as the president’s "surrogate son."
"I was his DJ, his Kindle, his travel agent, his valet, his daughters’ basketball coach, his messenger, his punching bag, his alarm clock, his vending machine, his chief of stuff, his note passer, his spades partner, his party planner, his workout partner, his caterer, his small forward, his buffer, his gatekeeper, his surrogate son, and ultimately, his friend," Love wrote in the book, published in February.
Love joins former Obama administration deputy chief of staff Alyssa Mastromonaco, who serves as chief operating officer at Vice, Politico reported.
